Letters: Ban assault rifles

Ban the assault rifles. The 2nd amendment was made when there was a viable threat that our country could be attacked by a hostile country. Why would you need one? The NRA and the Republican cronies that are afraid of them need to get in the real world. All they are used for today are to blow little children and innocent people away. I have owned different hunting guns, and still do, Will they take them away? No.

Why the big fight over something that is useless. Congress needs to fix our economy before they drag something as stupid as banning assault weapons out.
